About the project

Thousands of SKUs — one navigable catalog

Dugit serves divers, fishermen, swimmers, underwater photographers, and outdoor athletes — a deep catalog that had outgrown its taxonomy.

We rebuilt collection architecture, mega-menu navigation, filter UX, mobile experience, and storefront performance — so customers can find the right gear in fewer taps.

Restructured collections

Categories aligned with customer intent — diving, fishing, swim, photo, outdoor.

Discoverability redesign

Mega-menu, predictive search, and filters built for a deep catalog.

Mobile-first commerce UX

Touch-friendly browsing, faster pages, and a cleaner buy journey on mobile.

The challenge

Six problems holding the catalog back

Large product catalog management

Thousands of SKUs spread across multiple verticals — one taxonomy couldn't serve all of them.

Complex category hierarchy

Categories had grown organically. Parent-child relationships didn't line up cleanly.

Product discoverability issues

Customers arrived with intent and got lost in the catalog before finding it.

Mobile browsing friction

Touch interactions weren't tuned for a catalog this deep — long scrolls, accidental taps.

Navigation complexity

Mega-menu was a wall of links rather than a navigable map of the catalog.

Storefront performance optimization

Heavy media and bloated scripts made the mobile experience feel sluggish.

The solution

Six interventions — one navigable storefront

Improved collection architecture

Categories restructured around real customer intent across verticals.

Redesigned navigation structure

Mega-menu rebuilt as a navigable map of the catalog.

Enhanced filtering experience

Multi-select filters with URL persistence and clear applied state.

Optimized mobile UX

Touch-friendly menus, gesture-aware filters, and a cart drawer that works on iOS Safari.

Improved storefront speed

Trimmed legacy weight, deferred non-critical scripts, lazy-loaded media.

Reduced shopping friction

Fewer steps from category landing to checkout — measurable across the funnel.
